ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)
Acrobot released his first Android game, would you mind giving it a go?
ChestShop
A simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests.
It's never been that easy to create shops! With features like shop protection and anti-lag protection, you won't have to worry about your server's economy anymore!
"Just works"! ChestShop supports almost all economy plugins by using Vault!
(Versions above 3.9.2 also support economy plugins using the Reserve API)
Some known compatible and incompatible economy plugins.
Please check if there are newer development builds before reporting issues!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the file's changelog!
The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (mcstats.org and bstats.org) in order to provide the developers with usage information. If you wish to opt out, you can do so in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and bstats/config.yml files. It also features an auto-update feature, which can be turned off in the config.

Using shops
It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell. (You can configure the buttons in the config file!)
How to create a shop
Player shop
| Place a chest on the ground | |
| Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above it) | |
| On the sign, write: | ![]() |
| Leave the first line empty. It will be automatically filled with your name by the plugin (if you have the permission ChestShop.admin then you can create shops with the names of other players) | |
| Second line is the amount of items to buy or sell | |
|
Third line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon (:) |
Some of the possible price combinations: "B 5:5 S", "B 5", "S free" |
|
The forth line will hold the id/name of the item. Write ? on the sign and the item will be autofilled with the one from the chest or you can click on the sign with the item afterwards. Optionally you can put the actual name on it. You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo |
|
| Resulting Shop | ![]() |
| A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616 |
If you want you can also take a look at this video tutorial.
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission or that you are an OP. To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign when creating the shop. Admin Shops do not require a chest!

To sell or buy I have to stand on the block left or right to the sign. if i say it like "look side ways towards the sign? I cant stand on the square in front of the sign. - but as i said this isnt an 24/7 thing - it happens randomly - a screenshot wont be much help cause the screenshot does not show any error. - nor does the console show any error when players cant buy/sell. I cant explain it anymore then I have sorry.

Are all those related to ChestShop?
Sometimes / always one can't interact with signs, depending on which items you have in the hand. This does not only apply to ChestShop signs but also to others (custom lift plugin, potentially others).

Posted Feb 27, 2013@xsonarx Huh. Diagonal clicking? What exactly do you mean? Could you provide me with a screenshot?
@mrpickles71 No, it doesn't work if you're using the latest ChestShop version with the latest CraftBukkit.
@tubajedimaster Well, it doesn't say it anymore, but you should either:
- just delete plugins/ChestShop/local.yml file, and it'll auto-regenerate
- remove %amount from messages regarding buying/selling.
The cause is that ChestShop's core supports multi-item transactions now.
@tryy3 Nope. Not working on the latest ChestShop version with the latest CraftBukkit build.
@mafima Well, I'd say it's not ChestShop. Probably more of a problem with your economy plugin.

the anvil stuff, if you rename a item, then try to sell it, it will sell it, give you your money and give the item back, so it never takes te item away from you!

Posted Feb 26, 2013Huge Problem!
There is a glitch where if you sell to the admin shop with an item that you renamed, you dont lose the item but you gain the money.
For Example... The sign says - 1st Line= "Admin Shop" - 2nd Line= "1" - 3rd Line= "S 100" - 4th Line= "Wool"
If you sell a block of wool that you renamed (using the anvil), you gain the money but you dont lose the item. This means continual selling = unlimited money.

Posted Feb 26, 2013@xsonarx Checked it again. Essentials uses exactly the same method for sign recognition like I do. Are you sure you are testing it while being right in front of the sign?

Posted Feb 26, 2013@xsonarx I've got no idea, Essentials sign's shouldn't work either. I'll look into it, but it sounds weird.
@deltaspirit1 Have you tried checking the config?

I have no problem with the Essentials [buy] [sell] signs, I can buy/sell holding blocks without problems. but for some reason your plugin is drunk at times and if this was a minecraft bug why does one work fine and one doesn't? The only reason I tried chestshop was the fact buy/sell is on one sign :(. I guess for now ill stay with essentials shop signs.

Posted Feb 25, 2013@Aortal It already supports it, exactly how you've written it :P
@dustyhacker Unfortunately, it's not possible. Vault (which I use) can only add/subtract money "generally", there is no way to take money from the specific world-account.

Posted Feb 25, 2013Great plugin.
Would you consider adding the output chat to allow for color codes?
For example: You bought 1 Grass from Admin Shop for 5 &6Gold&f.
